4-H Youth

Welcome to Skagit County 4-H…

and opportunities for leadership, citizenship, and life skills development!

Skagit County has a long and strong 4-H tradition. Approximately 500 youth between grades K through 12 are educated by around 100 leaders throughout the county.

A wide variety of projects are offered. From the popular horses and dogs projects to woodworking, gardening, robotics, drama and wildlife, the 4-H program has something for everyone. The program is active year-round and teaches youth responsibility, confidence, and general life skills through project participation.

The Skagit County 4-H programs are delivered by the WSU 4-H Program Coordinator. The 4-H volunteers are dedicated, caring adults who work in cooperation with the county extension office.
